DLP 20th Ann Main Street Party

I've posted recently an article about DLP 20th press event which happened on March 31, and during this memorable evening a party was organized in Main Street U.S.A with projections on Main street facade, etc... The video below will give you a better look of this party, and with the giant puppets and lighting effects on the castle it looked really cool.

DLP 20Th Ann - Part Three: Tony Baxter "From Concept to Reality" - Full Master Class Video

Here is the part two of the report about DLP 20th anniversary event. Lots of little happenings were organized in each land but the event that each DLP fan was waiting for was Tony Baxter's master class at Discoveryland's Videopolis. For most of them it was just like seeing God in person, and considering that Tony was the lead show producer on Disneyland Paris park i suppose that the comparison is not exaggerated!

So, for all of you who were not at Videopolis yesterday here is the full video of Tony Baxter "From Concept to Reality" master class, filmed by ptitlionwolfi, whom i thanks a lot. The picture above of Tony was shot in front of DLP castle on March 30 while a DLP team was filming him, by Rififi whom i thanks too.




Edited April 16: I'm adding a new video of Tony Master Class this one being in high-def - choose to watch it in the 1080 definition - filmed by the always excellent Fillip Van Tyghem, whom i thanks a lot.

DLP 20th Ann - Part Two: Internet Special Show "We don't have twenty years each day"

A special one hour show only broadcast on internet happened yesterday with french anchorman Jean Pierre Foucault. It was called "On n'a pas tous les jours 20 ans" (We don't have twenty years each day). Although the interviews parts are in french you'll find in it archives documents and exclusive shots, including aerial view of the park thanks to cameras which were on the air force plane which drew a "20th" in the sky yesterday morning during the cast members flash mob in Main Street. Have a look!

Happy 20th Anniversary Disneyland Paris !

Twenty years ago Disneyland Paris had its first opening day on April 12, and so today it's DLP 20th Anniversary! Unfortunately i was not able to attend the event but others did and thanks to them you will be able to see what happened this morning at DLP. More pictorial reports and video will come soon but for now here is how the day begin, and it began at the entrance of Main Street with a celebration speech of Philippe Gas, DLP CEO...




...Instantly followed by a flash mob of DLP cast members and characters, join in the sky by two acrobatic planes of the french air force who "draw" in the sky a "20th"...


Here is a longer video showing the two planes flying over the park...





Later today DLP guests watched the 20th parade as well as the 20th Anniversary train going up and down Main Street...




...But the show that no one is gonna miss tonight is of course the new Disney Dreams show. Thousands of guests will stand in front of Sleeping Beauty castle and thanks to DLRPMagic you're going to be able to watch it exactly as DLP guests will as this new Disney Dreams video was shot exactly like anyone in front of DLP castle will see the show tonight. It's a whole different experience than the official video that i've posted last week so it really worth to have a new look at this amazing show!




You might be interested by have a look back at the opening celebration 20 years ago and, good news, DLP has released a video showing the grand opening on April 12, 1992 with Michael Eisner, Roy Disney and Bob Fitzpatrick who was DLP first CEO. Here it is;




Now that DLP has reached its 20th, what can we wish to the park for the next 20 years? Of course, a better financial situation, and for DLP fans new rides which hopefully will come soon, beginning by the awaited Ratatouille dark ride at the WDS and then may be the next ride will be for Disneyland Park. In twenty years from now DLP will very probably ave a third theme park - planned for 2020 - and much more like the Village Nature which is confirmed. Again, Happy birthday Disneyland Paris and all my best wishes for the next 20 years and beyond!
